Day 6- Saturday, September 7th Saturday morning was another chill morning. I made breakfast for Karen and Carla once again. I made eggs for them almost every day on this trip, even at Carla’s house. They’ve started calling me mom. I finally got a chance to learn to drive a manual. One of my friends has one and took me out for a drive. I didn’t drive that far and it was just on a straight road, but at least I did it and I kind of get the hang of it. And I didn’t stall which is a plus! I still need more practice though, especially if I want to actually drive on a road with other cars and turns and such. Too nervous to do that right off the bat. We went back to ... read more

Hello again! Just got back yesterday from a week-long vacation down to the south of Western Australia. It was such an amazing experience and I had a phenomenal time (: Because we did so much and there is so much to write about, I am going to break my entries up by the day so they aren’t too long and overwhelming. Day 1- Monday, September 2nd Classes ended on Friday the 30th but we didn’t leave until Monday. Carla, the one who drove us down, had to work Monday night so we left as soon as she was finished. The idea for the trip was to go down to Bunbury, which is where Carla is from, to stay with her family and she would show us around the rest of the area. A lot of the ... read more

Hjemvendt fra 4 overnatninger, 5 dage paa farten. En tur fyldt med oplevelser. Bliver noed til at tilfoeje endnu en skuffe til min mentale Australien-kuffert!!!! Lesson learnt: alting bliver lidt haardere naar det er 35-40 grader, ingen skygge, ingen vind..... At kunne tilgive og slaa en streg over = vaeldig nyttigt. Hightlights fra turen: iskaffe, hoeje traeer, smalle og lige veje, op ad bakke og ned ad bakke, gamle traeer, Denmark = en by, sejltur med Steve Irwin's faetter eller i hvert fald med samme entusiasme = virkelig morsomt, togtur gennem skov, kaenguruer, kakkerlakker, chikader, firben, look-out trees, vandfald med naesten ingen vand, strande, boelger, iskaffe, traette og overophedede boern, sikring i bilen gaaet = vinduer kunne ikke rulles op = mangel paa aircon = varm hjemtur..... Saetter billeder ind og taenker at det bliver en ... read more
